PulseEffects has been replaced by EasyEffects (at least when you use pipewire) I didn’t read the whole story, but easyeffects is what you get on Arch when using pipewire at least.
It works almost the same, but they’ve fixed stuff that breaks the preset (in the JSON, types makes more sense now) which broke the world.
In any case, here’s the modified preset (the maximizer seems broken and does not output any sound when active, so I removed it)
